NEW ORLEANS - A Coast Guard MH-60 Jayhawk aircrew rescued two boaters and a dog from their capsized vessel Sept. 19 on Lake Borgne near Slidell, La. The CG was notified by dispatchers from the St. Bernard Police Department that a family member of one of the boaters received a distressed text requesting CG assistance. The aircrew observed an overturned 21-foot boat with two persons and a dog on the hull. The Jayhawk aircrew hoisted one boater into the helicopter. A rescue swimmer stayed in the water until a Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries boatcrew arrived and took the other person and dog aboard. Both crews transferred the boaters back to Hopedale Marina to awaiting emergency medical services personnel. The boaters were last reported in stable condition. (Source: Coast Guard 09/19/22)
